Promotion

World Wrestling Entertainment/Federation used several of the songs for promotional purposes. "Home" was featured in the WWE Desire video for Kurt Angle. "Broken" was the theme song for the Judgement Day 2002 pay-per-view. Songs "Running Out of Pain" and "Back Up" were used on Cheating Death, Stealing Life - The Eddie Guerrero Story. The latter was also used in a promo for Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H in Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood 2004. "Back Up" was originally written to be the new entrance song for The Rock but was not because it was too different from what he had been using.

"Broken" is featured on the Digital Praise PC game Guitar Praise.
